A Case for Cute

I knew I was going to like artists Joel and Ashley Selby before I met them -- they're aesthetic was evident from their website and artwork, and they were prompt with a sunny e-mail response. But I was never prepared for them to be such a (oh I hate to even say it...) cute couple!

How, you ask, could you use such a cliche? Well, I provide the following list as support for the use of such a well-worn phrase:

1. They live in a farmhouse, an 1851 farmhouse. I am a sucker for 19th century farmhouses.

2. They have chickens outside the farmhouse.

3. They are young, just out of college young.

4. They smile a lot.

5. They seem at ease wearing hats.

6. They love to bake bread and cookies and save scraps of good paper.

7. They use chalkboards as decor.

8. They love Flight of the Concords.

9. They understand the importance of good fonts and can discuss them at length while keeping you interested.

10. You just know they have only begun to stretch their artistic wings.

Read the Go Triad cover article, and find out more about their budding business and great eye for design. Also, there will be a few pics online supporting, if not condoning, my choice of words.
